Every effort is made to ensure that this is as simple and timely as possible from beginning to the final transfer of property title.

The size of the tax deduction is determined by the current market value of the property, as opposed to the cost of the property when it was purchased. So if you purchased your property in 1968 for $92,000 and today it is worth $812,000, the current value is what you base your tax deduction on and in this case it will be quite substantial.
